Direct Quotes, Paraphrasing, Summarizing

What's the Difference?

Quoting---involves copying short sentences or passages from the original text word-for-word places copied wording within “quotation marks”.

Paraphrasing---involves putting a section of a text into your own words changes the words and phrasing of the original text, but keeps the original meaning of the text without personal opinions.

Summarizing---involves stating the main ideas and findings of a text into your own words. Presents a general overview, so is usually much shorter than the original text.

Direct quotes are placed within quotation marks (" ") 

Example:

"It is ridiculous to borrow someone's items without them knowing, and becoming enraged when you're reprimanded for stealing" (Ling 20).

Paraphrasing
To keep the same meaning of the original text, using different words

Example:

Silliness is using someone's items without consent---and being mad when you get into trouble (Ling 20).

Summarizing
State the main parts using your words, giving a brief version

Example:

Ling discusses the ludicrous way people become upset when they are punished for borrowing with asking (Ling 20).
